Automation rules allow you to perform certain marketing and sales actions based on
criteria that you specify. - What are automation rules?

No. Once a prospect matches an automation rule, all of the actions that are defined at
that time in the rule are applied to that prospect and it is flagged as matching. If you add
new actions later, they will not be applied to prospects who have already matched. If
you add new criteria to the rule, the rule will not "unapply" actions to prospects who no
longer match. - If changes are made to a automation rule, will new criteria and actions
apply to already matched prospects?

No. An automation rule will only affect a prospect one time, and rules will never "un-
match" prospects if they no longer meet a rule's criteria. - Will an automation rule ever
match a prospect more than once?

Sort of. When automation rules are created, or an existing rule's criteria is edited, and
the rule is unpaused, the rule will search through all prospects in your account to find
matches. In this way, rules are retroactive — a prospect could have begun meeting the
criteria last week, but if the automation rule is created today the rule will still find them
and match them. If you edit criteria, it will not retroactively unmatch prospects. - Are
automation rules retroactive?
